Self-ligating bracket correction technology

Self-ligating bracket correction technology is a new technology that has emerged in recent years, which has brought revolutionary changes to fixed orthodontic technology. Make orthodontics more convenient. Its main advantage is that it can greatly reduce the frictional resistance between the steel wire and the bracket. Because it adds a door to the bracket, the orthodontic wire can be directly locked in the groove of the bracket, eliminating the binding of the ligation wire or rubber band to the orthodontic wire.

Self-ligating orthodontic bracket refers to a device made of a metal or ceramic material that is fixed on the surface of the tooth with a special cement in orthodontic treatment. It is used to accommodate and fix the orthodontic wire and transmit the corrective force. To the teeth, so as to achieve the purpose of orthodontics.

Traditional orthodontic brackets need to be fixed with thin wires or rubber bands and correction wires. This is a common practice, and it is these ligature wires or elastic rubber bands that will delay the course of correction. Because orthodontic treatment needs to overcome the frictional resistance between the wire and the bracket to move the teeth, the greater the friction, the greater the correction force required, the slower the movement speed, and the longer the correction time.

Compared with traditional orthodontic technology, Self-ligating brackets have an additional locking device than traditional brackets. In layman's terms, it is like adding a door to the brackets, which can directly lock the orthodontic wires in the grooves of the brackets. It eliminates the binding of the ligation wire or rubber band to the orthodontic wire, greatly reduces the frictional resistance between the wire and the bracket, the force received by the tooth will also be reduced, the tooth movement speed will also be accelerated, and the entire treatment time will be effectively shortened.
